Cool! Thanks for sharing

It's odd that they think people won't want to pick and use the peppers.

You certainly can use ornamental peppers, but a little goes a long way :)

beautiful

Did I gather from this article that we can eat the leaves? Are the leaves on sweet peppers edible?

There are many choices for ornamental peppers without buying patented/GMO plants.

I am growing 3 known kinds, plus I got some mystery seeds. It sounds like they are even more nutricious than regular peppers. I'll bet they would make a pretty salsa. I'm growing florescent purple, bulgarian rainbow, and explosive ember. They are growing veeerrrrryy slow.

I hope you can take some photos this summer so we can all see what those look like. Florescent purple sounds great!
